Let me know when those recruiting rankings translate to elite college players and NFL draft picks.

247/Rivals etc want to sell subscriptions so they rate players from Middle Tennessee highly. That doesn't mean a lot to some folks.

Let me know when Tennessee cranks out elite Wrs like AJ Green, Alshon Jeffrey, DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Williams. The defensive ends from South Carolina are even more impressive.


Tennessee's demographics will never allow it to compete with any of the states from the Deep South with comparable populations when it comes to elite talent.

Trying to support UK, UL, and WKU plus a perennial FCS power at EKU with the talent in Kentucky?

No wonder we raid Ohio etc for players

I just did you clown


quote:

Just in the 2017 NFL Draft UT sent 3 from Middle TN within the first 4 rounds. Derek Barnett, Josh Malone, and Jalen Reeves Maybin. Jalen Hurd would have went went as well if he had been getting better advice from his counsel and not transfering out. Jalen Ramsey just got taken before them and is playing in the league. And those are just the guys from the Nashville metro within the last few years. Tennessee will have several more players from the mid state get taken in the Draft over the next few years to add to the list.

Wrong again. The rise of in state talent in Tennessee has largely been because of two things. NPA & Buck Fitzgerald & the Nashville area exploding.

You sound so uneducated on all of this it's borderline cringe worthy. It's easy to see that you don't live in Tennessee or you're just extremely out of touch with what's happening.

Wrong again. Outside of Louisiana, Tennessee already is. Tennessee has passed Mississippi and South Carolina and is starting to catch up to Alabama and Louisiana. Tennessee already has a significantly deeper and more talented in state class than Alabama for the 2019 class (13 4* to 7 4*). Tennessee also has a talented and deeper class than Louisiana for 2019 (13 4* to 8 4* & 1 5*) Like I said, Tennessee is trending up in a big way.

How many times are you going to post some BS on here my dude?

You showed more patience with that idiot than I could anylonger.

Hell, Tennessee won their last MNC with SC HS players ... other than Reggie White their greatest DLinemen are probably from SC, two or three of them at least.

At one time, not too many years ago, the state of SC produced I forget how many all conference players in the same year on teams all over the league including Vandy and KY, plus they had all-conference players on rosters at UNC, FSU, VA Tech and Clemson the same season.

SC has had three down years overall for instate recruiting, but it's coming back starting this year .... and we cannot overlook SC HS talent at IMG for their senior years.
